I am seeing this in 13.10, on a Lenovo L430. - There is no CD in the drive. The drive is empty. - The physical switch on the CD-ROM drive does nothing. - The door works fine after reboot. It gets locked after ejecting 1 CD. - This happens when ejecting using Nautilus, and also when ejecting using Unity dock right-click-eject.
